Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Send thou out some men that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: one man each of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send, every one who is a prince among them.
“Tuma anthu kuti akazonde dziko la Kanaani limene ndikupereka kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera pa fuko lililonse utume munthu mmodzi amene ndi mtsogoleri wawo.”
3 And Moses sent them out from the wilderness of Paran by the order of the Lord: they all were men, [who] were heads of the children of Israel.
Monga mwa mawu a Yehova, Mose anawatuma kuchokera ku chipululu cha Parani. Onsewo anali atsogoleri a Aisraeli.

16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua [[Yehoshua']].
Amenewa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Mose anawatuma kukazonda dzikolo. (Hoseya mwana wa Nuni, Mose anamupatsa dzina loti Yoswa).
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and he said unto them, Go you up this way at the south side, and go up into the mountain;
Mose atawatuma kuti akazonde Kanaani anati, “Mupite kudzera ku Negevi, mukapitirire mpaka ku dziko la mapiri.
18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they be strong or weak, whether they be few or many;
Mukaone dzikolo kuti ndi lotani ndi anthu okhala mʼmenemo ngati ndi amphamvu kapena ofowoka, ochepa kapena ambiri.
19 And what the land is on which they dwell, whether it be good or bad; and what the cities are in which they dwell, whether in open places, or in strongholds;
Nanga dziko limene akukhalako ndi lotani? Ndi labwino kapena loyipa? Mizinda imene akukhalamo ndi yotani? Kodi ilibe malinga kapena ndi ya malinga?
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be trees therein, or not; and take ye courage, and take away some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripening of grapes.
Nthaka yake ndi yotani? Yachonde kapena yopanda chonde? Kodi dzikolo lili ndi mitengo kapena lilibe mitengo? Mukayesetse kubweretsako zipatso za mʼdzikomo.” (Inali nthawi yamphesa zoyamba kupsa).
21 And they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rechob, on the road to Chamath.
Choncho anapita kukazonda dzikolo kuchokera ku chipululu cha Zini mpaka ku Rehobu, mopenyana ndi Lebo Hamati.
22 And they ascended on the south side, and came unto Hebron; and there were Achiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of 'Anak; [now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.]
Anapita kudzera ku Negevi ndi kukafika ku Hebroni, kumene Ahimani, Sesai ndi Talimai, ana a Anaki ankakhala. (Anamanga Hebroni zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri asanamange Zowani ku Igupto).
23 And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and they cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a barrow between two; and [they took some] of the pomegranates and of the figs.
Atafika ku chigwa cha Esikolo, anadulako nthambi ya mpesa ya phava limodzi la mphesa ndipo anthu awiri ananyamulizana, natenganso makangadza ndi nkhuyu.
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, on account of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Malo amenewo anawatcha chigwa cha Esikolo chifukwa cha phava la mphesa limene Aisraeli anadula kumeneko.
25 And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Patapita masiku makumi anayi, anthu aja anabwerako kokazonda dziko lija.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Ndipo atabwerako anapita kwa Mose ndi Aaroni ndi kwa Aisraeli onse ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Parani. Kumeneko anafotokozera anthu onse nawaonetsanso zipatso za mʼdzikolo.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou didst send us, and truly doth it flow with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
Anthuwo anafotokozera Mose kuti, “Tinapita ku dziko komwe munatituma. Dzikolo ndi loyenda mkaka ndi uchi ndipo zipatso zake ndi izi.
28 Nevertheless the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are very strongly walled, and great; and the children of 'Anak also have we seen there.
Koma anthu amene amakhala mʼdzikomo ndi amphamvu, mizinda yawo ndi ya malinga aakulu kwambiri. Tinaonanso Aanaki kumeneko.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the southern country; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Emorites, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the margin of the Jordan.
Aamaleki amakhala ku Negevi, Ahiti, Ayebusi ndi Aamori amakhala mʼdziko la mapiri ndipo Akanaani amakhala pafupi ndi nyanja, mʼmbali mwa Yorodani.”
30 And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and he said, We can easily go up, and take possession of it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Koma Kalebe anawakhalitsa chete anthuwo pamaso pa Mose, ndipo anati, “Tiyeni tipite ndithu ndi kutenga dzikolo, pakuti tingathe kulitenga.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Koma anthu aja amene anapita naye anati, “Sitingathe kulimbana ndi anthuwo popeza ndi amphamvu kuposa ifeyo.”
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that consumeth its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
Choncho anthuwo anafalitsa pakati pa Aisraeli mbiri yoyipa ya dziko lomwe anakalionalo. Iwo anati, “Dziko limene tinapita kukalizonda limawononga anthu okhala mʼmenemo. Ndipo anthu onse amene tinakawaona kumeneko ndi ataliatali.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of 'Anak, of the giants' [family]: and we were in our own eyes as grasshoppers, and so were we in their eyes.
Kumeneko tinaona Anefili (ana a Aanaki ochokera kwa Nefili). Ifeyo timangodziona ngati ziwala mʼmaso mwawo, ndipo kwa iwo timaonekadi motero ndithu.”
